Changing enrolment patterns, facility utilization, and program requirements are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that students are provided with appropriate educational programs and facilities, based on Ministry of Education funding and Board priorities. In the DSBN, both elementary and secondary schools have experienced and will continue to experience decline in enrolment over the next 10 years. The secondary school enrolment has declined by 13.4% or by 2,125 students from 2001 to 2011. The short term enrolment projections would indicate that the Board will have approximately 12,625 secondary students by 2016. This is a further reduction of 8.2% or 1,125 students. In May of 2011, a Facility Planning Report was presented that indicated planning areas for study in the form of an Accommodation Review. On May 16, 2011, the District School Board of Niagara passed at its regular Board meeting, that staff conduct an Accommodation Review for planning areas 05B and 09 in Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold. The review area for Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold is comprised of the boundary districts for Kernahan Park Secondary School, Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School, St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, Thorold Secondary School and West Park Secondary School. Kernahan Park Secondary School serves Specialized School-to-Work (SSTW) students living in these areas. The overall review area is bordered by the Queen Elizabeth Way on the north, Niagara-onthe-Lake and Niagara Falls on the east, rural sections of Welland, Thorold and Pelham on the south, and the municipality of Lincoln beyond Eleventh Street Louth on the west. Accommodation Review Process An Accommodation Review Committee was formed in June 2011. A complete list of the Committee membership is included at the beginning of this report. The Committee met six (6) times and held seven (7) public meetings for information and consultation. All meetings were open to the public. The Committee has greatly benefitted from the support provided by our recording secretary, Brenda Chatterton; resource staff including; Doug Durant, Manager of Projects and Maintenance; Christine Thompson, Supervisor of Planning; Richard Stark and Michelle McPhee, Planning Department; Joe Weinberg, Superintendent of Business; Jim Morgan, Superintendent of Human Resources; John Stainsby, Superintendent of Schools - Area 5. School Valuation Reports prepared by each school and Board staff were presented to the Committee. Each report included three (3) segments, namely, School Program, School Facilities, and Demographics and Housing.

School Facilities Kernahan Park Secondary School was built in 1966 and had an addition in 2008. Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School was built in 1964 and had two additions in 1967 and 2011. St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School was built in 1922 and had three additions 1949, 1956 and 1963. Thorold Secondary School was built in 1876 and had five additions the last one in 1967. West Park Secondary School was built in 1969 with one addition in 2008. The sizes of the sites were compared - Kernahan Park Secondary School is 12.8 acres, St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School is 9.19 acres, Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School is 15.98 acres, Thorold Secondary School is 3.34 acres and West Park Secondary School is 11.43 acres. Manager Doug Durant also reviewed the use of the school by the community based on rental and lease bookings. The facility used the most is St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School with a total of twenty-one thousand six hundred and seventy-seven (21,677) hours of use for the period September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011. West Park Secondary School was nine hundred and twenty-six (926) hours, Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School was seven hundred and thirty-two (732) hours, Thorold Secondary School was five hundred and eighty-five (585) hours and Kernahan Park Secondary School has the least with four hundred and ninety-eight (498) hours, all within the same timeframe. The community use hours of the secondary schools in the review does not include night school. The long term facility renewals were projected over the next five years. Thorold Secondary School has the highest renewal needs at $1,415,000 and Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School was next in line with $1,265,000. West Park Secondary School was $1,034,000, Kernahan Park Secondary School and St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School had the lowest at $867,000 and $820,000 respectively. Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee – Final Report Page 3 Demographics and Housing Christine Thompson, Supervisor of Planning, presented the portion of the valuation report dealing with Demographics and Housing. An overview of the common elements in the planning area was given, such as historic and future trends. As part of the report, maps indicating boundaries, development and transportation were included. According to the enrolment projections, the enrolment in 2021 at Kernahan Park Secondary School will be three hundred and forty-two (342), Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School will be five hundred (500) in the Regular Program and four hundred and twenty-two (422) in the Extended French (French Immersion) Program, St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School will be four hundred and fifteen (415), Thorold Secondary School will be three hundred and eleven (311) and West Park Secondary School will be three hundred (300). The St. Catharines section of the review area is essentially infilled with most new residential development coming in the form of small intensification projects. There are, however, a few larger redevelopment projects either in progress or looming in the future, including: [a] the former Seaway and gun club lands in the eastern Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School/St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School areas, [b] the General Hospital and former industrial lands in the St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School area, and [c] the former Hotel Dieu Hospital lands in the western St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School area. Because the city is essentially built out to its western urban service boundary at the present time, there are few remaining opportunities for infilling development within the West Park Secondary School section of the review area. Within the Thorold section of the review area, an average of sixty-six (66) new housing units have been built each year over the past decade which has yielded four (4) secondary students per year. It is expected that construction volumes will increase in the future due to [1] the near absence of greenfield development land in the adjoining municipality of St. Catharines and [2] the opening of the subdivision development of Rolling Meadows at Blackhorse Corners. In addition, there is still housing growth potential in the Confederation Heights subdivision near the Highway 406/Highway 58 interchange. Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee – Final Report Page 4 ARC Meeting Highlights The first ARC meeting of the Review was held on Thursday, September 15th, 2011. The District School Board of Niagara Policy F-2: Accommodation Review Guidelines for the Planning of School Program and Facility Needs was presented, along with the valuation framework. The Committee had opportunities for questions and input. Clarification of terms was needed and it was agreed the Principals would get together and clarify terms for consistency when schools were creating their valuation report. The valuation report was adjusted as requested by the Committee. The second ARC meeting was held on October 6th, 2011. Each Principal reviewed their program valuation report. Presentations were made by Christine Thompson of the Planning Department and Doug Durant of the Facilities Department. Information requested at the previous meeting was distributed. Media guidelines were established by the Committee. As DSBN was in the process of hiring a new Superintendent of Business, the next ARC meeting was postponed until November 24th, 2011 with the support of the Committee. The third ARC meeting took place on November 24th, 2011. Communication was shared with the Committee. Superintendent Jim Morgan shared Senior Administration Options A to D for the purpose of discussion and generating additional options. Senior Administration Option A 1. Consolidate West Park & Kernahan Park into St. Catharines Collegiate 2. Consolidate Thorold SS into Sir Winston Churchill 3. Extended French (French Immersion) remains at Sir Winston Churchill Senior Administration Option B 1. Consolidate Kernahan Park into St. Catharines Collegiate 2.

Enhanced programming through increased enrolments. 2. Consideration of specialized programs Extended French (French Immersion), SSTW, ESL, Special Needs program available if moved. 3. Community identity. 4. Solution should be long term. 5. Fiscal responsibility (transportation/facilities). 6. Minimize disruption while achieving Guiding Principles. 7. Co-curricular activities availability. Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee – Final Report Page 5 The Committee then put forward options and came to an agreement that the Committee could submit additional options up until December 1st, 2011, by email and all options would then be shared with the public. This resulted in ten (10) Committee Options being shared at the next public meeting. The fourth ARC meeting was held on January 19th, 2012. Guiding Principles were used to develop a sample criteria template with indicators. Opportunities were given to change both the criteria and or the indicators. Discussion took place in small groups and then was shared as a whole if there was any clarification, additions, alterations or deletions. The Committee adjusted number five on the template. Three key elements to assist in scoring were accepted to help the process: 1. Higher enrolment the greater capacity to support program; 2. SSTW together provides nucleus for full programming and specialty facilities; 3. Extended French (French Immersion) split provides opportunity for growth and aligns to elementary program. It does result in a need for additional sections. Students not as fully immersed because of smaller population. The Committee agreed to eliminate their bottom 8 options. Prior to removing an option there was an opportunity for the committee to respond to its removal. Additional criteria was identified in order to move forward with narrowing the options. The following options remained on the table: Senior Admin Option A 1. Consolidate West Park & Kernahan Park into St. Catharines Collegiate 2. Consolidate Thorold Secondary School into Sir Winston Churchill 3. French Immersion remains at Sir Winston Churchill Senior Admin Option C 1.

Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee – Final Report Page 8 Findings and Recommendations of the Accommodation Review Committee Introduction The Accommodation Review Committee had a full slate of members as described in Policy F-2. All of the Accommodation Review Committee meetings were open to the public. Members of the Committee received a great deal of information and there was an ongoing effort to explain and clarify the data available. The District School Board of Niagara website provided a link to the review which included agendas, minutes, reports and policies. There was also a contact link on the website to provide the public with an opportunity to ask questions or give input. A direct link to the Board’s Accommodation Review web page was placed on each school’s website. There was one petition received by the Committee. There were feedback sheets provided at the Public Information Sessions and a number of them were returned for the Committee to review. A large number of correspondence through website contacts, emails or mail to the Board Office were received and shared with the Committee. The Secondary Schools in the review area communicated through various means such as school signs, parent involvement committee meetings and school newsletters. A postcard was developed to inform families of the Accommodation Review Process and distributed to the five (5) Secondary Schools and all Grade 8 schools who fed into a secondary school in the Review area. Although the Committee did not reach a consensus on all of the recommendations, in the end, the majority agreed to putting the two recommendations forward for Board consideration. Findings/Summary In the meetings, discussion was wide ranging as the Committee sought to understand and then to synthesize the material presented. Several scenarios were explored and evaluated as possible ways to achieve the objective that had been established for the review. A number of issues/concerns emerged: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The size of the school age population; Students attending alternate schools; The effect on the environment as a result of the busing; The single high school community; The cost of transportation and the length of time on the bus; The splitting or keeping programs together; The availability of program facilities. These issues and their impact on various scenarios was considered. As the Committee reviewed the demographic data it was clear that within the five schools in the review area there were far fewer students attending the schools then they could accommodate. The total enrolment being two thousand nine hundred and seven (2,907) and the total pupil spaces available four thousand five hundred and ninety-three (4,593). All schools were seen as providing a good basic program for students. The schools with larger student population were able to provide programming with fewer split level or split grade classes. Scenarios were discussed that would enhance the student population through boundary changes and moving of programs. Some creative ideas were also put forward. One idea was moving grades 7 and 8 students to the high school, this would lessen the number of surplus pupil spaces, however, would not impact secondary programming and would require an Accommodation Review to take place for the elementary school involved. Another thought was to include the DSBN Academy with one of the schools which once again would require an additional consultation process. The Committee by placing the closure of Kernahan Park Secondary School in both options have indicated their support for that part of the recommendation. The Committee in their deliberations and discussion were very clear that they would not support the closing of three schools in the review area. In putting forward two options the Committee did not want to choose between West Park Secondary School and Thorold Secondary School and decided the decision should be left to the Trustees. This resulted in the two options presented in the recommendation. Central and South St. Catharines and Thorold Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee – Final Report Page 9 Recommendation As a result of the Committee’s study of the data and its deliberations regarding the best interest of the students in St. Catharines and Thorold, the Accommodation Review Committee respectfully submits the following two recommendations: Recommendation 1 1.
